Woman charged with using antisemitic slur during netball game

A woman has been charged after allegedly making anti-Semitic comments during a children’s netball match in Sydney’s east.

Officers were called to Heffron Park in Maroubra at 10am yesterday following reports that the 42-year-old linked to the Saints club had made offensive comments while watching a match.

She is said to have made the insulting comments to a team of Jewish junior players.

Police were called and officers spoke to the woman and told her to move on.

Following inquiries, she received a report today for using offensive language in or near a public space or school.

She is due to appear at Waverley Local Court next month.

The incident came after the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion kicked off in Sydney last week.
